Jeweler to the stars Jean Dousset—both Eva Longoria Parker and Amy Adams wear his designs—just launched his eBay store and we can’t get enough of it! The site features over 200 rings in varying cuts, styles and sizes, so there's something to please everyone. Dousset and his team even devised a "Find the perfect ring" feature, which lets you select your desired cut, style and budget, and pops out the ring of your dreams.
The best news of all, though, is that the collection ranges from $2,900 and $11,900, so you really can have a star worthy ring no matter what your budget. As Dousset says, “You don't have to compromise style over budget, just give her what she wants!”

The holiday season is upon us, which of course brings holiday sales, holiday foods and...engagement season! So if you’re attached but not yet engaged, have your guy “stumble upon” this little piece of information about how a New York City landmark could help him pop the question.
The Rink at Rockefeller Center (therinkatrockcenter.com), home of the iconic Christmas tree, is now offering an “Engagement on Ice” package. For $250 (it goes down to $200 after Jan. 5), you get admission onto the rink, skate rentals, private time on the ice for the proposal and a champagne toast afterwards. They’ll also play a favorite song if you provide them with music, so the moment can be extra personal.
For those who prefer to keep their mistletoe and matrimonial plans separate, the package is available through early April, which is when the rink closes for the summer. So if you two lace up your skates at Rockefeller Center this year, be prepared—he might have some ice of a different sort for you.

Morning news shows always have feel-good stories, but a segment that appeared on Good Morning America today took the (wedding) cake. Emily Leonard, a local anchorwoman for an ABC News affiliate in Lubbock, Texas, received a marriage proposal on live television from her boyfriend, Matt Laubhan, the local CBS affiliate’s weatherman!
Leonard was in the middle of her broadcast, expecting a sports segment to run. To her surprise, though, her boyfriend of two and a half years appeared on screen with some “breaking news” instead. “Emily Leonard is not only the sweet, quirky, crazy girl that you watch every morning on this channel,” he said. “But she’s also the love of my life.”
Laubhan then appeared on his girlfriend’s set, ring in hand, and proposed. Leonard, of course, said yes. Check out the video here and then share your own proposal stories in our comments.
